Answering God’s Call: Our Middle East Journey

In 2021, during one of the most challenging times in recent history, we graduated from Bible college and found ourselves at a crossroads. With the world gripped by a pandemic, mourning the death of our father, facing strict country restrictions, and dealing with overwhelming uncertainty, the Lord led us to an unexpected destination: the Middle East. With empty bank accounts, no jobs, and no community, we still believed that God had a purpose for us in this region. Despite the challenges, we came and stayed, firmly trusting that He wanted us here.

From the moment we arrived, the Lord began to open doors for us, guiding our steps and providing opportunities to be His hands and feet in this area. This journey has deepened our faith and reliance on God, as we have witnessed His provision and faithfulness time and time again.

Our experiences here have profoundly shaped our mission. The Lord has instilled in us a deep compassion for the underprivileged and marginalized in society.

Our journey has been a testament to God’s grace and provision, and we are continually humbled and inspired by the transformations we witness. It is our prayer that through God’s grace, many more lives will be touched, and God’s love will be made known in even the darkest places.

Here are some of the incredible things the Lord has done so far..

Helping Abused Girls and Women:
We help girls and women who have faced abuse to rebuild their lives with dignity and love. Our goal is to restore hope and give them the tools they need to lead fulfilling lives.

Mental and Emotional Health Support:
We offer essential support to individuals struggling with mental and emotional health issues.

Discipleship:
Our discipleship program is designed to help individuals grow spiritually. We offer Bible studies, one-on-one mentoring, and group discussions to help believers deepen their faith.

Evangelism:
Evangelism is at the heart of our ministry. We are committed to sharing the message of God’s love and salvation with others, especially in this region.

Encounter School and Encounter Nights Gathering

In 2022, We established a ministry school to equip the believers and the next generation, empowering them to be catalysts for change in this region. Witnessing their powerful encounters with God, we support new believers in faith as they stand firm for Christ amidst trials. We also started to host gatherings weekly where people receive healing and  deliverance. Every miraculous moment we’ve witnessed is the handiwork of our mighty Creator, and we feel deeply honored and blessed to be part of His wonders, impacting and showing His love to those around us.

Testimonies

• Transformative Encounters Our students shared a life-changing experience. They had face-to-face encounters with the Father. These powerful moments lifted a heavy weight off their shoulders, leaving them visibly changed in ways they had never experienced before.
• Freedom from Addictions Walking alongside these individuals, we have witnessed some break free from addictions like pornography. They have replaced these destructive habits with lives centered around a spiritual family that values vulnerability and transparency.
